The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1887-05-04
An Unheeded Complaint.

The MORNING NEWS has serious com
plant to make against those in charge of the
city water works-a complaint which it has
heretofore had occasion to make privately
namely, the shutting of of the water supply
without notice. An ample supply of water
is at all times a necessity in a city like Sa-
vannah, and it should never be cut off, ex-
cept in case Of an accident, without timely
notices Such notice is absolutely neces-
sary TO those using steam power.
Yesterday little after ] a. m. it was dis
covered that there was no water in the city
MAINS and for several hours the newspaper
press, stereotyping machinery, elevator and
electric lights of the MORNING NEWS estab-
lishment had to be stopped and the print
ing of the morning paper delayed
for want of water for steam pur-
poses. Had timely notice been giyen-and
there is no reason why it shouldn't have
been, as the water-works are connect6f by
telephone with the, city telephone, fe4fp5 IN
provision could have been made for asapply
of water a'l.n II IRE
Savannah is no longer a village, and It's
water system is too important to be cut Off
1t may be said that the MORNING NEWS
was the only establishment using water at
the hour mentioned That is only greater
reason why notice should have been given.
Anarchist Most thus describes the hor-
rors which beset him while he was confined
on Blackwelps Island: First, the officials
kept me shaved and trimmed like bald
oI, En-, 4,
a gang of well-fed buns of either sex every
day Second, the Protestant chaplain was
determined to save my black soul Third,
was compelled to rub elbows with the scum
of Gotham's vice, and these fellows took a
fiendish delight in playing all kinds Of
tricks upon me. Fourth, my mate at the
drill would continually say: when l look
at this fellow / feel as if were an organ
grinder, who had a monkey skipping around
by his side" Dreadful! Most ought not
to have been made to suffer So Next time
no is sent 60 Blackwells the authorities
ought to lock him in cell to himself
Judge s. r.. Atkinson, of the Brunswick
Circuit, is one of the youngest judicial Off
GERS in the State, but he is one of the most
capable and faithful His charges TO the
grand juries in his circuit indicate that he
intends as far as he can, to enforce the
laws. In Brunswick, recently, he instructed
the grand jury to ferret out violators ofthe
laws made to protect the sanctity OF the
Sabbath He is on the right track. Laws
affecting the Sabbath should be rigidly en-
forced.
1t is stated that Mason Valley, New, is
filling up with pianos In some houses out
there two pianos may be found, one in the
parlor and another in the kitchen. A beef
seller who visited the Valley, not long ago,
says that he missed his supper at the house
of a rancher with whom he stopped, because
while the ranchors wife was hammering out
tunes in the pallor concert was going on
in the kitchen. A lunatic asylum win soon
be needed in Mason Valley. .Y

mouth in Turliislffashion, giving him rather
a brgandish appearance. BY profess on he

politics nobody outside OF his immediate
friends ever heard Of il.
Some months ago Robert Law, the MI
honairc coal dealer of Chicago, predicted
that the interstate commerce law woul I'd send
llp the price OF coal in his city II didn't do
it, however, and Law now explains that the
reason is because the railroads lowered rates
He says that the railroads are gradually dis
regarding tho law in many respects, and he
thinks that it viii not stand long in its pres
Ont shape. The Commissioners mar surprise
tho railroads yet.
